"He must, so know the starfish and the student biologist who sits at the feet of living things, proliferate in all
directions. Having certain tendencies, he must move along their lines to the limit of their potentialities."

Wanna go...

Soon. Ecuador's Yasuni National Park. Almost 600 documented bird species. More species of frogs and toads than the U.S. and Canada combined. More tree species in a single hectare than are native to the U.S. and Canada. Over 100,000 species of insects per hectare. And it sits on top of a rich pool of oil. This can't possibly go badly. Right?

Check out the paper at PLoS One.
